Abstract

A new circuit design for Bus-Invert Coding is presented in this paper. The new scheme sends the coding information through the bus-lines instead of the invert-line which has been used conventionally for many types of Bus-Invert algorithms. By employing a newly developed bus-driver called Flip-Driver and a selection circuit, it not only removes the invert-line but suppresses the additional bus-transitions in sending coding information. It is verified by simulations that the efficiency of various Bus-Invert algorithms is increased about 40% to 100% by employing the new design.

본 논문에서는 기존의 Bus-Invert Coding 계통의 여러 알고리즘들이 관습적으로 사용하던 Invert-line 을 제거하고 버스선을 통하여 코딩정보를 전송하는 새로운 설계방법을 제시하였다. Flip-Driver라고 하는 새로운 형태의 버스드라이버와 선택회로를 사용한 이 방식은 Invert-line을 사용하지 않을 뿐 아니라 코딩정보 전송 시 발생하는 추가적인 버스의 전이를 효과적으로 억제한다. 이러한 회로설계방식의 변환만으로도 여러 BI 알고리즘의 효율이 Invert-line을 사용할 때와 비교하여 40%-100% 증대시킬 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
